Discover the story of the song > Pretty Visitors – Arctic Monkeys

The protagonist is walking in the morning with a trampoline and sees a charming but muddy scene with a barking dog and struggling bicycle wheels. Later, they are contemplating the age-old question of what came first, the chicken or the dickhead, and go for a walk where they get caught up in their thoughts. The song talks about how people come and go, leaving their mark on our lives like a snake pit shadow, and how sometimes we feel helpless like a crook in a hammock who is gagged and bound.
